N150- WNR1000 v3 port forwarding
Need to do some port forwarding on my N150- WNR1000 v3 for one of the games on my Nintendo switch, but have no idea how I know the TCP is 80, 443 and the UDP is 3074. I have no clue what to put in for...
The WNR1000V3 is plugged into a Comtrend VR-3030, but that's all I know.

That looks like some sort of DSL modem/router.
That complicates matters because you have two routers on our network. Hard to know which one would handle things like port forwarding.
Two routers on your network can cause other headaches. For example, you can end up with local address problems. Among other things, the other router can misdirect addresses that the Netgear router usually handles, such as routerlogin.net or the usual IP address for a router, 192.168.1.1.
This explains some of the other drawbacks.

It may be possible to put the modem/router into modem only (bridge) mode and then to use the second device as the router. Sometimes it is easier to put the second router into AP mode. But that has its own drawbacks:
